Title: Improvements in Air-compressors for Raising Beer or other Liquids
Inventor: BREMOND LUCIEN
Filed: 1908-05-27
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 11,541. BrÚmond, L. May 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Beer &c., raising and drawing off.-In automatic air-compressing apparatus for raising beer and other liquids, of the type in which water is admitted to and discharged from a closed vessel by float-operated valve mechanism, the valve mechanism is operated by two floats, one of which remains submerged until the level of the water reaches the other. Water rising and falling in the tank 1 is adapted to draw air pist a valve 5 and force it under pressure through a pipe 32. The water inlet and discharge pipes 6, 7 respectively are controlled by a slide valve 9 which works over a ported face 8. The valve 9 is connected by means of a bell-crank lever 19 to the extension 22 of a float 23. Means for holding the float in the submerged and raised positions comprise an arm 24 carrying a roller which is engaged alternately by the upper and lower curved faces of a member 11 pivoted on a standard 10. The member 11, which is provided with tumbler and balance weights 12, supports the rod 31 of a second float 15. An hydraulic balance 16 is provided to this float. Both floats are guided in their vertical movements, and rubber stops 29 receive the moving parts and reduce shocks. To start the apparatus, a plug 30 is removed, and water is poured into the hydraulic balance 16, whereby the ports are brought into the position shown. On admission of water under pressure to the tank, the float 15 is eventually raised, whereupon the member 11 releases the float 23, which rises suddenly and, through the bell-crank lever 19 and valve, closes the water inlet 6 and opens the outlet 7. The float 23 is held in the raised position until most of the water is exhausted a d a fresh charge of air has been drawn in, whereupon the balance 16 descends, the float 23 and the water inlet 6 is re-opened. The Specification, in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the following. A form of apparatus is shown in which air-floats and guiderods are dispensed with. The float 23 takes the form of a hollow metal float, the float 15 the form of a water tank. Their vertical movement is assured by connecting them to the standard 10 by links which form jointed parallelograms. Another form of apparatus is designed for use with low-pressure water. The float 23 in this case is replaced by a hollow cylinder with hemispherical ends and fitted with a heavy ball. The balance 16 is replaced by a float similar to the air-float 15. The cylinder is carried by trunnions so as to oscillate in a vertical plane and is connected to the slide valve 9 through a " lost motion." The valve 9 is opened suddenly and with considerable force by the tumbler-weight action of the heavy ball. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Sighting Apparatus for Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41G3/06
Filed: 1909-01-14
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 961. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Jan. 14. Sights and methods of sighting.-Relates to ordnance-sighting devices of the type described in Specifications 673/07, 3605/07, and 6917/07, and consists in providing means whereby corrections are made for projectiles having differently-shaped noses, in addition to the usual muzzle-velocity and temperature corrections. The pivot C of the usual calibrating-lever (not shown) is slidably mounted in a segmental slot d in the casing D. When common shells are to be fired, the pivot C is clamped to the casing, in the position shown in Fig. 2, by means of a screw c<3>, Fig. 6, having rigidly secured thereto a milled head c<4>, and working in a screwed part of an extension c<2> on the bearing of the pivot C. When capped shells are to be fired, the socket e, Fig. 2, of a rotatable member E is passed over the screw c<3> and is clamped, as shown in Fig. 6, between the extension c<2> and the end c<5> of the screw c'. In this position, the pivot C is movable in the slot d. Motion is imparted to the member E, and consequently to the pivot C, during the rotation of the range dial, by means of a radially-sliding plate F supported by the casing, and having a pin provided with two rollers f, f<1>, the roller f engaging the slot shown in the member E, and the roller f<1> engaging the usual cam-groove a in the back of the range dial. The roller c actuates the calibrating-lever mounted on the pivot C.

Abstract: 3357. McCowan, W. Feb. 11. Zinc oxide, sulphide, sulphate, and basic sulphate. -Sulphide ores of zinc are roasted to produce sulphate, which is leached out by water, or zinc sulphate solution (such as mother liquor), with or without sulphuric and sulphurous acids obtained at a later stage. The zinc sulphate is crystallized and the crystals are dehydrated and heated in a suitable furnace to a red heat, producing basic zinc sulphate and sulphurous and sulphuric anhydrides, which are absorbed for use as above. The basic sulphate is treated with water-gas and then with air to obtain first zinc oxide and sulphide and then zinc oxide. According to the Provisional Specification, ores that are not suitable for a sulphate roast are roasted to oxide, which is leached out with liquor containing sulphurous and sulphuric acid, and the liquor is treated as above. Specification 3237/78 is referred to.
